Whose exquisite flute is secretly melodious. As the spring breeze flutters, it spreads all over Luoyang. In tonight's song, who will not miss home when they hear the "broken willow" in their hometown?
Distinguish and appreciate
This poem is about homesickness, and the title is "Smelling the flute in Los Angeles on a Spring Night". Obviously, this poem was aroused by the flute. In the title, "Los Angeles" indicates the place of residence, and "Spring Night" indicates the season and specific time. Start by playing the flute, and then write. It is already late at night, and it is difficult for the poet to fall asleep. Suddenly, there were several intermittent flutes. The sound of the flute immediately touched the poet's wandering feelings. The poet didn't smell the flute, but said it was "secretly flying" and changed the object to the subject. The word "dark" is the key. Note that economists often ignore this word.
Creation background
This poem was written by Li Bai when he visited Luoyang in the 23rd year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (735). Luoyang was a very prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, and it was called the East Capital. At that time, Li Bai was living in Los Angeles, probably in an inn. He wrote this poem because he accidentally heard the sound of the flute, which triggered his homesickness.
